May 2026
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
The birthday month is over and you have Saturn and Neptune still in Aries. They are well aspected by Pluto and Uranus. I would recommend meditation, both contemplative and insight. The reason is the planets support that type of activity. Saturn for logic and analysis and Neptune with Uranus and Pluto for spiritual experiences and insights. Good month, enjoy the blessing.
Aries Buddhists love to be motivators. Reflect on things and then act for the benefit of yourself and others. Use skillful means to motivate yourself and others.
TAURUS (April 20 May 20)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to thank your mother and father for giving you this rebirth. Even if they were not there for you all the time, still they gave you an opportunity to work out your bad karma and accumulate good karma. The first two weeks are good as the Sun and Mercury run smoothly in your Sun sign. In the last two weeks Mars will run though Taurus. That gives you power and capacity. Just be slightly careful of deep feelings bothering you. Pluto will periodically be square all three, but it will be a brief influence of moodiness.
Taurus Buddhists love to be grounded and practical. This month show your positive qualities and share your positive ideas. As the month progresses just act in constructive ways that benefit all.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
This month is your birthday month. Don’t forget to thank your mother and father for giving you this rebirth. Even if they were not there for you all the time, still they gave you an opportunity to work out your bad karma and accumulate good karma. This month starts quietly as Uranus and Venus transit slowly in Gemini. On the fifteenth of May onwards has Mercury and the Sun enter Gemini and this is good for communication and vigorous activity. The reason is the Sun and Uranus will be together. Enjoy an astrological increase to your intelligence and energy, just be careful of speeding too much.
Gemini Buddhists are quick on their intellectual feet. This month attend classes, study and if you are a teacher, share your wisdom.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This month is powerful. Venus and Jupiter are in Cancer giving you love and affection, but Saturn and Neptune are square to Venus. That means you are dreaming fantastic fantasies but have doubts they will come true. The fantasy is Neptune; the doubt is Saturn’s influence. Remember, astrology is only an influence, and it manifests dependent on the current attitude and circumstances of your life. Therefore, whatever you might have as an issue at this time may surface strongly. In positive terms this transit could motivate you constructively. The important question is, “Are you aware of yourself and your personal intensity?” If you filter your feelings with wisdom and compassion, then things should be fine.
Cancer Buddhists normally work with feelings. This month you could be a powerhouse of benefit. The power is love and affection for others. You have lots of those feelings, just motivate correctly and everything will be fine.
LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This month is excellent for meditation. Reason is you have no planets in your sign and so peace can be utilized for inner development. Sometimes astrology can benefit us with supportive energy but it is still our responsibility to do the right things and cultivate our inner wisdom and compassion. You have a supportive aspect from Aquarius with and opposition from Pluto. This lasts the whole month and that means faith and deep dedication are on your side.
Leo Buddhists like to be motivators. This month organize the vision or idealism of your life. What legacy would you like to leave to the world? Be a true bodhisattva and offer benefit and bliss to all. That is an excellent legacy that brings happiness to everyone.
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
This month Mercury and the Sun are aspected to your Sun sign. These planets are in earth signs but they support you beneficially from a distance. This can help your dharma practice. The world is a dynamic place, and you have positive dynamics because of your Dharma practice, so do something constructive with your inspiration and compassion this month.
Virgo Buddhists do things in an orderly manner. This month your energy is released and free. Be mindful to not be so courageous that you hurt yourself or shock others. Always balance enthusiasm with wisdom.
LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Mars, Saturn and Neptune are opposite Libra. That means you are prone to being intense about things. The intensity can be a variety of things. Doubt from Saturn, frustration from Mars and fear from Neptune. Remember, astrology is only an influence and it manifests dependent on the current attitude and circumstances of your life. Therefore, whatever you might have as an issue at this time may surface strongly. In positive terms this transit could motivate you constructively. The important question is, “Are you aware of yourself and your personal intensity?” If you filter your feelings with wisdom and compassion then things should be fine.
Libra Buddhists keep life in balance. This month you have lots of energy, just be mindful about how you express it. Balance your actions with wisdom and compassion.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
This month you are a little stressed with things that are out of your immediate reach or control. No planets are in Scorpio but there is opposed by the Sun, Mercury and finally Mars. Basically, focus on one particular goal. If you try too hard you may find you get scattered and lose focus. Just pursue small and simple goals. In the last two weeks things turn around for you with the Sun and Mercury moving forward. You could see goals easily achieved in those last weeks.
Scorpio Buddhists are passionate. This month relax and don’t follow your desires. Just be peaceful. It takes a clear mind to accomplish a meaningful life, so keep your mindfulness in place.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
This month be careful of intellectual confusion. The month starts with the Uranus and Venus opposite to Sagittarius. This causes desires to be unpredictable. Do not chase fantasies. In the last weeks Mercury and the Sun will run opposite Sagittarius and cause potential mental confusion. Slow down and don’t try to do too many things. The whole month has a certain level of intensity to it, so being mindful and moving slowly would be good advice.
Sagittarius Buddhists are inspired individuals. This month I would recommend going slowly and being mindful. You will feel the urge to argue with people. Recognize those feelings and stop yourself. Be mindful that doing something quickly does not always accomplish your goal.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
This month your ideas about life are inspired but distracting. Jupiter is opposite, giving you enthusiasm, but then Venus comes opposite and you feel dissatisfied. So be mindful of impulsive desires and reckless activity. The Jupiter and Venus placement could make you chase the unattainable. Therefore, slow down and watch your intensity level in all actions. This is a good transit for Guru Yoga as the strong feelings might inspire you constructively to do something like the 100,000 prostrations. If you start though don’t stop when the transit is over.
Capricorn Buddhists reflect and contemplate on decisions. This month do just that. Meditate on mindful awareness of the actions of your body, speech and mind.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
This month Pluto moves slowly in Aquarius with good aspects to Neptune and Uranus. You will also have stimulating aspects with Mars, Mercury and the Sun. These aspects are square, but finish quickly. Therefore, plan activities that involve people, conferences or attending teachings for the month of May if possible. The wind of good astrological aspects at this time is in the sails of the boat that takes you across the ocean of samsara.
Aquarius Buddhists are sociable beings. This month your interactions with others are going well. Keep an eye on negative imagination though if you have any problems. If you are forgetful you will start to worry about things you have no control over. Be peaceful and all will go well.
PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This month you are empty of planets. The month starts with excellent aspects from the Sun, Mercury and Mars. That benefits you with good confidence and energy. In the last ten days be more mindful as the Sun and Mercury will run square to your Sun sign. This could cause you to feel obstructed by others. Remember your altruism is a personal motivation and even if others don’t agree with you does not mean you should abandon your positive feelings.
Pisces Buddhists are sensitive and introspective. This month be active and inspired. Do spend some time thinking about what you want to do first though, that saves time and energy.
